Every few months, someone seems to attack search engine optimization. SEOs are often quick to rise in defense of their profession.

I don't hate SEO, but I dislike the hype around the field, with all the "black hat" tactics, short cuts, etc. I believe in the organic search engine optimization done in a natural way as a content creator. I am interested in learning more about SEO, if it is laid forward in understandable way, in plain English for a layman.

Like you, I think that many feel the same way and while the industry may tend to complicate things a bit by using "complicated" terms, SEO IMO is really not that complicated. It does require effort and some basic understanding on how it works. If you are interested, my latest post actually directs people who are interested in learning a bit about SEO, the uncomplicated way. Google has its own academy and Bing is holding free webinars that have just begun. Please see my Speedlink of this week..

Hi Danny,

Not sure online entrepreneurs and small business entrepreneurs hate SEO so much as find it intimidating. (Though I may be speaking just for myself here.) There are plenty of changes and plenty of people claiming to have the answer, but, of course, this is the case with many other aspects of your business too. Thanks to Francisco Perez for sharing this post with the BizSugar community.
